Project Censored Show on Pacifica Radio August 23, Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips talk about the Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning case and the state of whistle blowing and the so-called free press with independent journalist and author Kevin Gosztola; they then turn to a report on Apple Exposed: The Untold Story of Globalization by professors Nicki Lisa Cole and Tara Krishna; and conclude the show with a look at repression of the indigenous community Rio Blanco in Honduras with Vicki Cervantes ofLa Voz de los de Abajo.

This week's Project Censored program focuses on the hazards of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") and federal officials' attempts to downplay some those hazards.

U.S. EPA officials denied last year that groundwater contamination in Dimock, Pennsylvania was due to fracking, although EPA's own scientists knew that fracking was the culprit. And, whistleblowers say, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used a false name in internal correspondence about the Dimock situation. Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips interview Steve Horn, writer for www.desmogblog.com, discusses these stories. Then Richard Heinberg of the Post-Carbon Institute speaks about his new book "Snake Oil: How Fracking's False Promise of Plenty Imperils Our Future." Heinberg explains the hazards to water and air from fracking.
